[Grok-dev] grok ubuntu tutorial problem

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hi Glyn,

No, this has not been asked before, and it is something to do with the 
latest grokproject component that got released last week. Apparently 
something is a bit brittle in it...

Could you post the commands + output leading up to the "... Downloading" 
output you sent?

I'm especially curious 1) if you use Ubuntu's python install (and what 
version is that?) and 2) how you installed the grokproject tool itself 
and 3) how you invoked the grokproject command.

I hope I can help you further tracking down the issue...

Thanks for reporting this, kind regards,
jw
